Songs about People # 131 Josef Stalin


From Robbie Savage to Joe Stalin. On this particular series anyway. An extraordinary wartime song in that moment of patriotic fervour during World War Two when Stalin and the Soviet state he  embodied were seen as a last and glorious bastion against the forces of fascism. This is the original of the song performed by The Golden Gate Jubilee Quartet.


And this, a version of the same song by Robert Wyatt, almost forty years later.
